Looking for Perfect Conf. for Core 2

[Sukhdeep Singh]

Hi Guys,

I gonna buy a new PC in just a few days when my exams Finish :P. Here is what i am looking for. By Budget is around 45000. I am not sure of the Prices and availability in my Area but i am just thinking of the following. Maybe you guys can help me more :)

I have listed some of the Prices which my VENDOR told me and would like to know at what prices they are available in your Area

1. Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 (Rs10200) or E6400 (????)
2. Intel® Desktop Board DG965WH (http://www.intel.com/products/motherboard/dg965wh/index.htm) or ASUS P5B-VM (http://www.asus.com/products4.aspx?modelmenu=1&model=1312&l1=3&l2=11&l3=0) or Any Good MOBO with onbaord Graphics (Price - ??)
3. 1GB Ram 667MHZ (Rs6500)
4. 250 GB Samsung or Seagate SATA II HDD (Rs4600)
5. Sapphire ATi Redeon x1600 Pro 512MB Graphic Card (Rs - ??) Not Gonna Now but wanna know the Prices.
6. 17inch Samsung TFT (Rs10500)

Any more Personal Choices are always welcome :D

Why go for x1600 pro? At that price range 7600GT will be better. Additionally I do not think 17" TFT from samsung will cost only Rs.10500. A month back I enquired here, it was around Rs.15000.

I personally feel that ATi are better than nVidia. Thats just my personal opinion and it is 512MB rather than 256MB, I know it wont make much of differnce because both cards churn out equal power But Your Opinion is always welcome. :D

Ya, i am sure it is Rs10500 for 17inch TFT though Sony one is 14000 or more. For Rs 15000 my vendor told me i could get 19inch. But i dont want 19inch.

Deal of Today is Samsung TFT 17inch for 10500 ;)

There is nothing as ATi is better than nVidia. ATi has more drawbacks to be precise, but what finally matters is the better card.

512mb = 256mb if you can only spend 15k on a graphic card.

get a crt then.

you are not gaming, are you?

ASUS P5B-VM has no onboard graphics i think

[montylee]

Both DG965WH and Asus P5B-VM have onboard graphics (Intel G965 Chipset). The drivers are not upto the mark though...

[Sukhdeep Singh]

Any Ideas on Price of MOBO and Graphic Cards ?

ASUS P5B-VM has no onboard graphics i think

LOL

P5B-VM means Socket 775 (P5), Intel G965 chipset (codenamed Broadwater), with onboard video and microATX form factor.

That's How ASUS Names it MOBO :D.

[varkey]

btw how is the mobo DG965RY and DG965WH? or is the P5B-VM better?

[Sukhdeep Singh]

Well i think Intel® Desktop Board DG965WH (http://www.intel.com/products/motherboard/dg965wh/index.htm) is the best choice till now

Here are Cons in Intel DG965RY (Rogers City; Classic Series)

1. no RAID
2. no S/PDIF
3. STAC9227 5.1 Ch. HD audi
Internation Retail Price - 124.99$ (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813121048)

Whereas has Intel DG965WH (Westchester; Media Series)

1. RAID 0/1/10/5
2. STAC9271D 7.1 Ch. HD audio
3. optical S/PDIF out. Supports Intel Viiv Technology.
Internation Retail Price - 128.99$ (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813121052)


As for P5B-VM

1. no RAID
2. no S/PDIF (need an optional bracket)
3. AD1988 7.1 Ch. HD audio
Internation Retail Price - 132.99$ (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813131043)

I really think Intel DG965WH is the best till now but dunno if it is available in India. Shall call the Intel Office in my City the day i gonna buy though :D
